Synopsis Dark Fire takes place seven years after the Humans lost control of the earth to Vampires, Dark Angels, and Light Angels in the year 2019. The population of the Human race was decimated in the Great War - 7 billion people reduced to under 10,000 survivors. They now band together in small clans and are just striving to survive.
The earth is desolate. The very spirit of the planet seems to mourn the loss of the people and animals that once thrived on its surface. There is little drinkable water, little plant life, and far fewer animals. Imagine a moor, and you have the greater part of the world.
The rebellion was lead by a mysterious figure named Mistian. His control over the affairs of the Light Angels is absolute. Most Vampires swear their allegiance to him, but live solitary lives. Dark Angels are separated completely from the Light Angels and Mistian.
Now, Human Slayers are out to recapture their world and restore order. There is an ancient prophecy that spoke of the Dark Fire and how it will reinstate peace to the world. All they have to do is find out what the Dark Fire exactly is. . .

Character TypesCharacters can be divided into five types. Humans: Humans have two sub categories - regular humans, and Slayers. Generations:True Slayers: The original Slayers. Most started fighting as soon as the rebellion began. There were 26 initial Slayers. 4 remain. (Average age is 24 or older.) - First Gen: The second generation of Slayers. They were born into a world with knowledge of freedom from persecution, but their memory is limited. Most of what they know is death and war. They have far less motivation than the True Slayers. (Average age is 15-16.)
- Second Gen.: The third generation of Slayers. They have no recollection of what life is like without persecution. They have little will to fight because they don't believe they will ever succeed. (Average age is 6-8)
- Third Gen: The newest generation of Slayers. They are too young to have really made any sort of impact or have begun fighting. (Average age is 2-3)
Traits -Solitary, but will work with partners. -Excellent hand to hand combat and knowledge in weaponry. Whatever they have, they use. -Rarely have magic or can heal -Die young. -Hunted more than Humans. -Refuse to procreate - It's a taboo. Dark Angels: Dark Angels were separated from Light Angels and Mistian in their reluctance to exterminate the humans. Their queen was killed by Mistian, where after they vowed to never side with the being. They once sided with humans, but in their fear, the humans turned against the Dark Angels. They now wander in groups of their own, waiting for peace to return. They won't care what the means are to reach the end. The Dark Angels have a peace treaty with Vampires in order to help bring peace. As with every group, they have rogues who kill the Humans for pleasure. Traits: -Dark wings -Kill Light Angels on sight -Will kill humans when provoked, but will help them - For a price -Banished but not Hunted by Mistian. -Have magic. Light Angels: Angels who sided with Mistian from the start. They initiated the schism between themselves and the Dark Angels by capturing the queen of the Angels, torturing her, breaking her wings, tearing them from her body, and killing her before the general population of Angels. They hate Dark Angels for their inability to see the good that Mistian is doing, but, because Mistian is not Hunting the Dark Angels, they only kill the Dark Angels when provoked. Light Angels generally live in cities built by Mistian and rarely leave them unless they are employed in a patrol band. Traits -Allied with Mistian and Vampires -kill Humans on sight and en masse -Use weapons, but have no magic. -Light colored wings. Vampires: Vampires generally live on their own. They have treaties will all groups except Humans and Slayers. They will tolerate them, but Humans are their main source of nourishment. They fought with Mistian in the Great War. Before that, they bred and lived with Humans, so there are very few Purebred Vampire families left in the world. Vampires don't necessarily kill their human victims, but they often do just for the simple cause of bloodlust. Only Pureblooded Vampires may Turn Humans. They refuse to feed on Angels, for their blood is equivalent to poison. Traits: -Can tolerate light, but still prefer darkness -Feed mostly on Humans -Use weapons more than hand to hand -Hunted by Slayers
